Translation
Euathlus was a scoundrelly orator.1 Aristophanes in Merchant-Ships [writes]; "we have a certain scoundrel, an archer, a support-speaker, like Euathlus amongst us the young men".2 He was wide-arsed and garrulous and ignoble. Hence [Aristophanes] calls him an archer, that is an attendant.3
